Students from Patrick Henry Elementary School together with school staff and city officials cut the ribbon on a mobile health care unit Monday morning, March 10, at the school. The Wellness On Wheels (WOW) Bus will service students in three of the west end schools that include John Adams, William Ramsay and Patrick Henry. The WOW Bus was procured through a federal government grant of $380,771 to start a mobile health care unit.
On board the bus will be licensed medical professionals from Alexandria Neighborhood Health Services, Inc. who will provide basic primary health care, including physical exams, routine dental and behavioral health services for children.
